Flashlight temptation
I was in Dollar General. The flash light aisle
had a one D cell (I know, only one of those one D lights I've ever seen) flash light. LED, looks more like a square Cree emitter than a bubble end LED. Comes with one carbon zinc D cell. Size is about the same as the old two D lights that were all over the place when I was kid. Price $2.50. I'd love to buy one, but money is tight. And it would just come home and sit. I have enough lights to do what I need, at present. When money loosens up a bit, maybe I'll buy one "for testing". -- .. Christopher A. Young learn more about Jesus .. www.lds.org .. .. |

Because I asked a question about $2.50? If you're that uptight about a simple question, then you should stay away when I'm a real prick. Yes, believe it or not there are a great many people who have almost zero discretionary funds. Every cent they earn is earmarked for absolute essentials. Naturally this opens all sorts of political diatribe and rhetoric but even after we sort out the terminally lazy, the products of public education, the mentally deficient, etc, there are still many millions of people in the situation. I have little hope this will change; it will probably get worse. Most of the much lauded new job creation we hear about lately in fact represents people who had to move from skilled middle class jobs to mind numbing minimum wage, or worse, jobs. Responsible people with good work ethics that we simply don't need any more. Let them starve in the streets, forced sterilization, massive incarceration for trivial reasons, or invent a society/economy that no one has yet begun to conceive. Your call. Might want to ask candidates some real questions. |

It converts 1.3+/- volts to the 3 or 5 or whatever required to light the LED as well as (on the good ones) limiting the LED current to a safe level. |

I can think of one result that not only could - but very likely would - be an order of magnitude worse. I'm not sure the USA could survive 4 years os Trump presidency - and I'm not sure it would recover from the damage in your or my lifetime. Your last civil war was devastating. The civil unrest of the sixties was terrible - but what Trump may unleash may make both of them pale in comparison.. 9-11 was a terrible disaster inflicted from outside the country - the reaction to Trump's foriegn policies could make 9-11 look like a blip on the radar. The sad thing is - whichever one you get, it will be impossible to know if the other would have been better or worse. You just want to hope and pray that whichever one gets elected, there is enough ballance in the senate to limit the damage either one can do. I remember Rush Limbaugh commenting on the Clinton "surplus". What Slick Willie did was to slash the military budget, and declare Social Security to be off budget.

If you're that uptight about a simple question, then you should stay away when I'm a real prick. It has nothing to do with whether I'm uptight. It's about the intent of your post. Nice attempt to shift the goal post. No one thinks it was an honest question. Either you accept what Stormin' wrote or you are calling him a liar and taking him to task. Or putting him down because he is poor. Your style and your chosen screen name both show your intent to attack targets of convenience on whatever basis you can drum up. Now, be a man, step up, and take on the issues I raised - or be written off as a troll. Wow, you seem to know everything about me. I didn't realize you were the spokesperson for everyone and SMs personal bodyguard. You have no idea of my intent. SM answered the question and I'm content with it. I have no idea what he does for a living or perhaps retired or whatnot. I'm surprised that $2.50 is substantial for some people. Though, I owe you no explanation. Frankly, I don't give a **** what you think. Put me in your troll killfile, stop whining about your uptight issues and **** your self-righteous hypothesis. |

The flash light aisle had a one D cell (I know, only one of those one D lights I've ever seen) flash light. LED, looks more like a square Cree emitter than a bubble end LED. Comes with one carbon zinc D cell. Size is about the same as the old two D lights that were all over the place when I was kid. Price $2.50. I'd love to buy one, but money is tight. And it would just come home and sit. I have enough lights to do what I need, at present. When money loosens up a bit, maybe I'll buy one "for testing". Shut down your INTERNET service and use that money to buy a case of lights. .. |

You seem to have little understanding or sympathy for what life may be like for other people. It surprises me that you say you are surprised that someone my not have $2 to spare on a lark. It either shows you are looking for a way out of being called on what has all the hallmarks of an intentional zinger or else you are truly out of touch with the way things are in the world. "meanie.brat" sort of gives us a clue which it is. ....and I'm not surprised at your uptight name displaying your desire of self appointed savior attempting to direct the path of others to believe and act as you. It clearly shows you are truly out of touch by overcompensating for your lack of supremacy and recognition within this "me" society. I have little sympathy for self-righteousness. Now killfile me or STFU. |
